If you ever find it, they used to sell Canadian maple cookies, from Canada, with real maple syrup. This stuff easily cost 3x more in Canada, and tasted much better than what they sell at Trader Joe’s.

In the briefest of summaries, what’s been omitted is the key ingredients to make it taste like lox: Liquid Smoke + ‘smoked’ sea salt — just in case people decided not to click thru to read the full recipe.

My current favorite cheap coffee beans:

This typology of intelligence sure looks like ‘skills’ to me. I’m concerned that we’re now going to embrace the idea that everyone is intelligent.

I have the Cuisinart CPB-100, which gets modest reviews. The funny thing is, the CPB-300 is virtually the same thing (same 350W motor, same body and tooling) except that it has additional items included and costs more, but it has far better reviews.

I hope everyone clicked through to the study’s appendix to see samples of drawings. Worth it, IMO.

I was thinking of listing all of the films shot in Oregon, but changed my mind.

Heh. Don’t forget to grind the pit and add it! :D

One of these days, I’m sure that someone will also cover Japanese / Chinese boiled peanuts. Yum!

Fü-tōn.

Now if only people would pronounce futon and karaoke correctly. I mean seriously, how do you get carry-o-key from that?

Maybe it’s just me, but I think that, regardless of whether or not your attacker is armed, the thing you must get over, is fear.
